He's not Wes Welker yet. But NFL.com has Brady throwing to him 15(!) times—17 times, counting penalties (one of which was a completion for 10, one an incomplete)—which says to me that Edelman's at least made significant strides.

Decent game, but he needs to learn how to line up properly... Moss had to save him repeatedly, telling him to get on/off the line. He's definitely a project, though, and he does have a high ceiling...

Is it time to activate Nunn from the practice squad? Edelman did great and i think Nunn would be great on the otherside of moss when welker is out!

The drop close to the goalline in the second quarter when he turned upfield too quickly was a killer... looked like a TD. Other than that, for my first time actually watching him play, I think he will have a major impact on this team - even when Welker is in the lineup.

Forgot about Nunn. At the rate Galloway's going, that's not an impossibility. . . . even if Tate can be activated later this year.

BTW, apparently this pass:

2-15-NYJ 41 (13:42) (No Huddle, Shotgun) 12-T.Brady pass short middle to 11-J.Edelman to NYJ 12 for 29 yards (36-J.Leonhard).

put Brady into second place in pass yardage among all Pats QBs.

B+

I'm not ready to put him in Canton yet. But for a 7th rounder who was playing QB last year I'm very, very happy.
